HIGH-PROFILE developer
Richard Peebles will bring
Lyttelton’s Woolstore to life.
The Peebles Group is developing
the new hospitality and retail
complex in the building on Te Ana
Marina.
Residents have been waiting for
Lyttelton Port Company to announce
its plans for The Woolstore
since it became vacant in October.
Some of the Mr Peebles’ city
developments undertaken with his
partners Mike Percasky and Kris
Inglis include the Little High restaurant
complex and the soon to be
opened Riverside farmers’ market
and Riverside retail complex.
The Woolstore’s rustic character
offers 720 sq m of ground floor
space and features views over the
marina, on-site car parking as well
as a pedestrian link connecting Te
Ana Marina to Lyttelton.
The Peebles Group’s vision for
the new complex includes small
diverse retail activities, a local
bar and restaurant, a gym which
could have spin classes on the
promenade, as well as small offices
with “unrivalled views.”

from the editor’s desk
THERE’S GREAT news on the front
page today regarding The Woolstore in
Lyttelton.
It has been a long-time coming but
finally word on who the developer of the
bar, cafe and retail complex is out: The Peebles Group.
The group is tip-top developers. It has the popular Little High
in the central city and the soon-to-be opened Riverside farmers’
market and Riverside retail complex.
But the important thing is the group, headed by Richard
Peebles, has its heart in the region.
It could have taken its money and ran to potentially more
lucrative locations after the earthquakes. But they have invested
here – which has been a massive help for the rebuild.
Now they are doing something big in Lyttelton. Great news.

Residents launch litterbug patrol
• By Jess Gibson
A NEW litterbug patrol will
mitigate roadside rubbish
around Diamond Harbour.
Residents say they are sick
of seeing litter which has been
thrown from vehicles in Diamond
Harbour
and areas such
as Allandale
Reserve, Teddington
and
Governors Bay.
Diamond
Harbour
Callum
Fawcett
resident Callum
Fawcett decided
to launch the
Volunteer Litterbug Patrol after
he spent 30 minutes picking up
rubbish on Gebbies Pass and
barely made a dent.
Mr Fawcett said the disregard
of people who litter is “very frustrating”
as the area is considered
paradise by himself and other
residents.
The first litter pick-up event
is set for August 11, meeting
at 8.30am in the Diamond
Harbour School car park before
walking over to Allandale
Reserve.
Mr Fawcett said there will be
a quick introduction then briefing
before heading out at “9am
sharp in groups of four to six
people per vehicle and trailer.”

www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz
He said more than 30 people
have expressed an interest when
he made a post about the patrol
on the Facebook page Diamond
Harbour, New Zealand Facebook
page.
“Once we have done the first
pickup, I’ve asked the school in
a months time if we can involve
the local students to do a quarterly
pick-up in the waterways.”
He said children will not be
involved in the roadside pick-ps
due to safety concerns.
Mr Fawcett said he eventually
wants to see signs that read
“Diamond Harbour is a litterbug
free zone.”
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member Tyrone Fields
said it was good to hear that
residents were taking action.
“We are always looking for
ways to facilitate local people
following their passions so it’s
great.”

involved, phone Mr Fawcett
on 021 631 048.

Eight Akaroa Volunteer Fire
Brigade firefighters attended
a callout at The Giants House
bed and breakfast after fish
which was being cooked on a
stove set off the smoke alarms
on Sunday. The crew arrived in
two appliances at about 8.30pm
and spent 40min trying to settle
smoke in the kitchen so the
alarms would stop.
GODLEY HEAD FEEDBACK
Residents have until Monday
to have a say on the future
of the Godley Head site. The
consultation is being done to
gather feedback on what the
public would like to use the area
for, keeping in mind the land is
a reserve under the Reserves Act
1977. The foundations of Godley
House will remain untouched.
BRIDGE TO BE REPLACED
THe replacement of a bridge on
Tikao Bay Rd, Wainui, is set to
start on Monday. The bridge
will be closed for up to seven
days. During this time,
pedestrian access will be
provided and the affected
residents will be informed of
the days of closure. Work is
being done as the infrastructure
has been assessed and is nearing
the end of its life.

THICK, see-through walls will
allow the public to peer into the
history of Ferrymead’s 149-yearold
cob cottage.
New designs show what the
building in Scott Park will look
like after it undergoes $530,000
repairs as part of the city council’s
plan to restored heritage
buildings across the city.
The building, which is known
as Penfold Cottage, was severely
damaged in the Canterbury
earthquakes – with two of its
walls mostly collapsed.
Standing walls at the front of
the building will be strengthened
with an interior steel frame,
while the two partial walls will
be encased in clear materials. The
roof will also be fixed.
Inside it will be historic items
of interest.
Heritage programme manager
Richie Moyle said the building
will be “vandal-proof” from graffiti
or scratch-marks.
He said staff have ensured
the building will have adequate
ventilation, and that drainage
systems have been redone to
prevent the glass from fogging up
on the inside.
Mr Moyle said staff hope to get
contractors on the job in October
so that work can be completed by
February 2020.
City councillor Sara Templeton
said the cottage will be an asset
to the community as it will be
a destination along the coastal
pathway.
“I think it’s great that the building
is finally getting its repairs.
There was a really good consultation
with the community and
what came out of it was that people
wanted to be able to value the heritage
and be able to see it, but didn’t
necessarily want to go inside.”

Clear materials for cottage
DESIGNS: Ferrymead’s cob cottage in Scott Park will be
strengthened with an interior steel frame, while the two partial
walls will be encased in clear, strong materials.
The cottage was built by sea
captain James Penfold.
However, it was lived in by
migrants in the late 19th-century
before being largely rebuilt
in the 1940s using cob style
construction – a mixture of clay
and tussock or rushes.

Board members were meant

The amount requested by Safer

This is because the price of
cameras skyrocketed from
$4000 to $20,000 in December
due to police requesting the

Guts & Grace: Christchurch City
Mission by Geoffrey .M.r. Haworth
The Christchurch City Mission is one of the city’s most respected and
active caring organisations. It was born during the start of the Great
Depression, the last of New Zealand’s Anglican founded city missions.
It took root during a time of social upheaval, as Christchurch came to
grips with the depression, and then with the outbreak of the Second
World War.
Countless Cantabrians have benefitted from the services it provides.
Many hundreds of people have contributed to its teams of volunteers,
or joined its paid staff. Many more give generously to supporting its
operations, sharing its vision, and planning its future.
As the Mission prepares to celebrates its ninetieth birthday, it will
finally tell its story. It is a remarkable story of vision, generosity, daring
experiment, and fruitful partnerships. The City Missioners have all been
people of rare talents and creative energy. They have been served by
many people of strong ability and practicality, united in their dedication
to the purposes of the City Mission.

The Great Successor: The Secret rise
and rule of Kim Jong Un. By Anna Fifield
The behind-the-scenes story of the rise and reign of the world’s strangest
and most elusive tyrant, Kim Jong Un, by the journalist with the best
connections and insights into the bizarrely dangerous world of North
Korea. An irreverent yet insightful quest to understand the life of Kim Jong
Un, one of the world’s most secretive dictators. Kim’s life is swathed in
myth and propaganda, from the plainly silly--he supposedly ate so much
Swiss cheese that his ankles gave way--to the grimly bloody stories
of the ways his enemies and rival family members have perished at
his command. One of the most knowledgeable journalists on modern
Korea, Anna Fifield has exclusive access to Kim’s aunt and uncle who
posed as his parents while he was growing up in Switzerland, members
of the entourage that accompanied Dennis Rodman on his quasiambassadorial
visits with Kim, and the Japanese sushi chef whom Kim
befriended and who was the first outsider to identify him as the inevitable
successor to his father as supreme ruler. She has been able to create a
captivating portrait of the oddest and most isolated political regime in the
world, one that is broken yet able to summon a US president for peace
talks, bankrupt yet in possession of nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Un;
ridiculous but deadly, and a man of our times

HISTORY: Teddington farmers once used a 300ft jetty, built in 1865, before it was wiped out by a
tsunami three years later.
Blog unearths stories
behind Lyttelton
Harbour’s lost jetties
• By Jess Gibson
YOU MAY not know it, but
Teddington was once home
to a 300ft jetty that stretched
out across the mudflats to help
farmers who used the sea as their
highway.
Its use was short-lived. In 1868,
three years after it was built,
it was wiped out by the largest
recorded distant tsunami to
strike New Zealand.
This story is one of 58 that were
uncovered by Governors Bay
resident Jane Robertson on her
blog Between Land and the Sea:
Jetties of Whakaraupo/Lyttelton
Harbour.
Ms Robertson has just wrapped
her series of blogposts about
Lyttelton Harbour’s lost jetties,
which she has been working on
since early 2018.
She has written stories about
private and public jetties in
Charteris Bay, Purau, Cass Bay
and Camp Bay, among others.
She decided to focus on the
topic of jetties after writing
her 2016 book, Head of the
Harbour: A history of Governors
Bay, Ōhinetahi, Allandale and
Teddington.
For each lost jetty, Ms
Robertson would travel
to its location to see any
evidence and form a
mental picture of what
once was.
“I actually see things
differently. I can see
how difficult life was
for a lot of people,” Ms
Robertson said.
Ms Robertson would
spend about a week
or longer writing each
post, gathering information
from websites, old newspapers,
books, national archives as well
as residents.
She said people who have
viewed the blog have given her
positive feedback.
“What I like most is when
people say, ‘oh, I remember that’.”
“Charteris Bay was an
interesting one because of the old
yacht club out there. I had a lot of
people talk to me about that and
give me photographs. There were
actually a lot of old jetties out that
way once upon a time,”
she said.
Ms Robertson moved
to Governors Bay in
2003 and decided to give
up her job at Canterbury
University in 2006 as
she wanted to earn an
income in Governors
Bay.
“I was fed up with
living in such a
beautiful place and having to
go over the hill and work out of
concrete buildings.”

Governors Bay walking
track temporarily closing
A POPULAR walking track
along the Governors Bay
foreshore will be closed
weekdays for the next two
months.
The closure is necessary
because contractors working on
the Lyttelton Harbour wastewater
project need to lay new
pipeline and electrical cabling
to connect the Jetty Rd pump
station with the new Governors
Bay pump station, which was
commissioned last month.
“Heavy machinery and rock
breaking equipment will be in
use while this work is done so in
the interests of public safety we
have decided to close the track
during the weekdays when the
contractors are working,’’ said
city council senior project manager
Hunter Morgan.
“We know the track though
is very popular so we will be
allowing public access to it in the
weekends.’’
The pipeline and cabling work
is part of the Lyttelton Harbour
Wastewater Project to end the
routine discharge of treated
wastewater into the harbour.
The project involves converting

Tram lines unearthed
A SECTION of the original
Sumner tram line has
been uncovered during
Sumner Village Master Plan
enhancement works.
Well-preserved tram tracks
were discovered last when undertaking
works in the middle
of the carriageway on Marriner
St, near the intersection with
Burgess St.
A tram line connecting
Christchurch and Sumner was
first proposed in 1855, but it was
not until the 1880s that the idea
became reality, with the Sumner
tram line extension opened in
1888.
City council’s planning,
delivery and transport manager
Lynette Ellis said the on-site
archaeologist was able to record
and photograph the sleepers
and take a sample for later testing.
However, the construction of
the road means that the site is
not able to be preserved.
Contractors are currently
in stage eight of the village
upgrades, which includes
paving footpaths and road
surfaces at the intersection of
Marriner St and Wakefield
Ave, digging up the old road
surface along Wakefield Ave and
building a new one, installing,
testing and chlorinating the
new water mains, installing and
testing the water sub-mains
and continuing to install
the stormwater pipes along
Wakefield Ave.

Once in every three-year term
of Parliament, each MP and the
press gallery journalists have
an opportunity to send a young
person from their electorate to
represent them in our Youth
Parliament.
My representative this year
is Cha’nel Kaa-Luke, a student
at Van Asch Deaf Education
Centre who is studying at Hillmorton
High School. She did a
fantastic job and was elected to
chair the Maori Affairs Select
Committee – a real privilege.
For many people, Parliament
is an alien environment and it
is so good to see it being taken
over by young people who are all
bursting with fresh ideas about
how to make our country better.
Cha’nel raised the profile of deaf
students and issues impacting

The Youth MPs got to not only
work in the select committee
environment but also to debate
in Parliament itself. They raised
issues which need to be debated
and considered more, particularly
around access to mental
health support, climate change
and respect for the voices of
young people. They certainly
earned that respect.
Our electorate was honoured
to actually have another “local”

Sumner was also a Youth MP for
my colleague Nicky Wagner. She
described it as “amazing and a
cool experience.”
It is an experience which
I certainly hope breaks
down some of the barriers
between our young people and
understanding how Parliament
works. Our Youth MPs are the
leaders of the future (in fact
several current Members of
Parliament were Youth MPs)
and I know that both Cha’nel
and Mia represented us well and
I am proud of them both.

Scholarship thrown way of pitcher
FAST BALL: Josh Wilson will become just the second
Canterbury baseballer to play at college in the United States.
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER
• By Gordon Findlater
SPORT
SUMNER TEENAGE baseball
Josh Wilson will take his
talents stateside after striking a
scholarship to play at Hesston
College in Kansas.
The 18-year-old pitcher will
become just the second Canterbury
baseballer to play at college
in the United States and the first
to receive a scholarship to play
when he leaves for Kansas on
August 11.
He is also the latest youngster
chasing the dream of becoming
Kiwi to play in Major League
Baseball. Christchurch softball
turned baseball player Travis
Wilson – who is of no relation to
Josh – came tantalisingly close
to cracking MLB in the early
2000s.
Wilson only took up baseball
three years ago when he was
introduced to the sport by a
friend. However, a background
in cricket made the adaption
easier.
“He’s taken to it like a duck
to water. The cricketers seem to
be able to adapt quite well,” said
Canterbury Baseball president
Brian Hemera.
“They see the ball coming
overarm to them with cricket,
so it’s a bit like facing a full toss
really.”
Wilson says he enjoyed watching
baseball and had played t-
ball in his primary school years,
but was unaware a baseball competition
existed in Christchurch.
“I hadn’t done much pitching
before baseball, but I knew I had
a decently strong arm from fielding
on the boundary in cricket
. . . when I was first started I was
rubbish. I couldn’t throw a strike
to save my life,” said Wilson.
“My coach helped me a lot with
solidifying solid form and a good
technique. It’s a massive part of
pitching and I’ve just kept doing
that. I don’t even have to throw a
ball, I just go through the same
motion over and over again.”
Persistence has paid off. Last
year Wilson travelled to the US
with the New Zealand under-18
team which competed at the
ADAPTING:
Wilson only

baseball three
years ago, but
has been aided
by a strong

cricket.
Arizona Fall Classic Showcase.
The tournament allowed Wilson
to show off his talents in front of
college scouts which has led to
the scholarship opportunity at
the junior college.
Wilson says he gets most of his
strikes from curve balls and sliders
and can currently get his fast
ball near 80mph (128km/h).
He currently plays in the
Christchurch mens competition
which has just four teams. However,
with a number of younger
players taking up the game he
can see more of them following
in his footsteps.
“I can definitely see guys
younger than me going there. I
wish I started when I was 12 or
13. Those kids are getting really
good coaching and I can see
them doing really well,” Wilson
said.
Flowers are
always a winner
AdveRTORiAL
And not just for the champions – everyone
gets a flowery gift at the Governor’s Bay to
Lyttelton 10km run. On Saturday 17 August,
one of Canterbury’s longest-running events
will be in its 58th year. The 10km running
event organised by the Methodist Harriers
is only overtaken by one other Canterbury
classic - the Takahe to Akaroa Relay which
has been operating for a mere 75 years.
So what makes it popular year after year
to run to Lyttelton from Governor’s Bay?
Firstly, the handicap race guarantees that all
runners, regardless of their ability, celebrate
the finish together. The speedy front runners
start at the back of the event, so there is
always someone behind you. The faster
athletes provide momentum and everyone
feels part of the race, no one is running
on their own. Some entrants use this race
to look for areas of running improvement,
others might smash it out as a competitive
training session. The road surface is easy to
run. (We'll be running on the tarmac edge so
cars can pass, but it would be good to plan
your journey to be slower.) We'll all be taking
care, despite the distraction of the harbour
view – that is huge part of the enjoyment
factor. Another attraction to the event is
the artfully selected flowers by Aromaunga
Baxters Flowers that placeholders can take
home, and the10 floral spot prizes up for
grabs.
Best of all, every participant is a winner,
as race finishers take home a single bloom
to keep celebrating for days. People train
really hard day in day out. Let's increase that
feeling of completing a run and extend the
happiness!

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 office/study
2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0217
Superbly positioned in The Ridge
Subdivision on Mt Pleasant encapsulating
phenomenal views stretching from the
Kaikoura Ranges over the sea to the Southern
Alps. With the rolling hills of John Britten
Reserve and a rural backdrop including
Castle Rock to the South you’ll never tire of
coming home to this grandest of landscapes.
An exceptional home of Sean McCurrie
architectural design and high calibre build
with reassuring solid masonry construction,
complemented with copper and louvres.
A well-appointed sleek European kitchen
boasts granite benchtops and the welcome
feature of the superbly functional scullery,
making entertaining and family life a breeze.
Expansive open plan living has hardwood
floors, a gas fire, and is filled with light and
warmth from full height glass windows
and doors, while glass balustrades ensure
uninterrupted views.
Enjoy seamless indoor/outdoor flow onto
extensive wrap around tiled balconies where
you can sit out of the easterly winds and
watch the sunsets and city lights.
A large office with a built-in desk and
storage gives you an excellent work from
home office space. The master bedroom
complete with ensuite and walk-in-robe
really does feel like your own private
sanctuary as it can be opened on both sides
for access to the patio and fresh air. Flexibility
is paramount in the downstairs level with 3
double bedrooms all opening out onto the
terrace, a main bathroom and a media room
which could also be used as a 5th bedroom
for those unexpected guests. For the wine
connoisseur a cellar is tucked away behind
the stairs.
Finding a hillside home with great
access is a rarity on the hill and this won’t
disappoint with its oversized double garage,
extra parking and turning area. A tastefully
landscaped and easily maintained garden
with a flat lawn area offers everything you
would expect from a quality property.
What are you waiting for? To experience
this exceptional home and sensational views
for yourself, pick up the phone and call me
